Major Nash said that he knew no one

who, like himself, wcs returning from
the White Sulphur, and Captain E. ID.
Starke. The foi .ner wis rather under
his charge and the latter occupied the
seat with him. Mrs. Moore was
in the car, but he did not know it at
the time. The train vas coming down

Stsrke remarked, "We will not be able

a BulldozinR Scheme.

There are indications at Washington that
a determined effort is being made to defeat
the reelection of Mr. Carlisle to the
Speakership, and, strange as it may appear,
the claim which Mr. Thoebe makes to the
seat of Mr. Carlisle is the basis of this
effort
Everyone who knows anything about the
Thoebe-Carlisle contested election case
knows that Mr.. Thoebe was
not elected. Indeed, so frivolous
are the reasons upon which he bases his
claim to Mr. Carlisle's seat, and so unim-
portant is the evidence with which he sun
ports them, that Mr. Carlisle has done
nothing in defense of his right except to
file an answer to Mr. Thoebe's petite.
1t is said that members OF Congress are
constantly receiving letters from labor Or
carnations urging them to support Mr.
Thoebes claim. and threatening them with
the loss of the labor vote if they refuse to
do So.
1t is not probable that Democrats will be
influenced to do an injustice to Mr.. Carlisle
by these letters They understand that if
Mr.. Thoebe had a good case there would he
no occasion for thA employment of such
means in his behalf The fact of their
employment is sufficient of itself to cast a
doubt upon the validity of his claim. There
ought, however, to be some way to punish
those who try to influence legislation by
threats
The insnuation that Mr. Randall encour-
ages these covert attacks upon Mr.. Carlisle
with the hope of preventing him from again
becoming Speaker, is hardly worth a mo-
ment'S consideration. He may not be in
harmony with the party to which he pro-
fesseS allegiance upon the important ques-
ton of the tariff. but ne is not the sort of q
man 20 do political rival or opponent an
injury in the dark. 1t may be safe to as
sumo, therefore, that he is rot behind the
bulldozing tactics which are being employed
to defeat Mr. Carlisle for the Speakership
and deprive him of his seat.
AS a matter of fact Mr. Carlisle is in nc
danger of being defeated for the Speaker
ship He will be nominated by the Demo-
cratic caucus without serious opposition,
and the claim which Mr.. Thoebe makes to
his seat win meyer reach the dignity of a
serious contest.

Painstaking.
From The Netg YORK. Graphic.


What is worth doing ut all is worth doing
well, is an excellent motto for every young
person to follow. Not only does practicing this
a,age establish habits of carefulness speed and
accuracy, but it LAYS a good foundation for sue
cess in life. prominent judge, living near
Cincinnati, wished u have a rough fence built
and sent for a carpenter.
Il want this nee mended. said he, Ito keep
out the cattle. There are some upland boards
Use them. 1t is out of sight from the house,
SO you need not tuke time to make it a neat job
will only pay YOU S1.50."
However, afterward, the Judge coming to
look at the work, found the boards were planned
and finished with exceeding neatneSs. SuppoS-
ing the young man had done il in order to make
a costly job of it, he said angrily;
Il told You this fence was to be covered with
vines. do not care how it looks"
Il do" said the carpenter.
How much do you charge:" asked the Judge.
"A dollar and a half, said the man, shoulder
ing his tools.
why did you spend all that labor on the job,
if not tor the money!"
For the job, sir.
Nobody would have seen the poor work on
it,"
But should have known it was there. No;
I'll take only the dollar and half" And he
took it and went away.
Ten years afterwards the Judge had a contract
to give for the building Of certain magnificent
public buildings. There were many applicants
among master builders but one face attracted
his attention. 1t was that of the man who had
built the fence.
II knew. said the Judge afterwards, telling
his story, we should have only good genuine
work from him. l gave him the contract, and
it made rich man of him.

The New York Election.

OF all the elections which occur next
Tuesday that in New York State has the
greatest general interest The local wrangle
among the newspapers over the respective
merits of Col. Fellows and Mr.. Nicon, the
Democratic and Independent candidates, re-
spectively, for District Attorney is amusing
TO people of other States, but they are not
devoting all their time to watching it, The
New York city press seems to have forgot
ten that there is a State election, and that
it is very important one They ARE so en-
tirely taken up with their local fight that
they are doing all they can to drag the
President into it. One paper asserts that
the President wants Mr. Nicoll elected and
another that he favols Col Fellows. The
truth doubtless is that the President
doesn't care snap of his finger for either of
the candidates for District Attorney. He
is only interested in the success of the Demo
cratic party and the triumph of Democratic
principles.
The reports from reliable sources are
favorable for the success of the Democratic
party. Col. Fred Grant who leads the Re
publican State ticket, has not developed the
strength that it was thought he would In
fact, from present indications, the people
will not be more ready TO cast their votes
for him than they are to contribute their
dollars to monument for his father. He
is great failure as a stump speaker and is
not personally popular.
The Prohibitionists are certain to poll a
large vote. Their strength is rapidly in
creasing, and is largely drawn from the Re
publicans They appear to be more hostile
to the Republican than to the Democratic
party.
The Democrats are enthusiastic through
out the entire State Their ticket is
strong one and is gaining votes every day.
In the beginning of the campaign there was
a great deal of apprehension felt about the
party's success, because of the candidacy
of Mr.. George. The George vote is still an
unknown quantity, but the estimates which
are made of it now are much smaller than
those made Immediately after Mr. Georges
nomination 1t is not believed that he will
do the Democratic party anywhere near as
much damage as tn Prohi- itionists will do
the Republicans 1t is important that the
Democratic party shall carry New York,
and the indications now are that it will.
